Good Resouce.
Good resource, but some of the pages are a bit busy for some students. It would be great if there were a comma-free option, as we do not use commas in numbers in Canada.
Great resource!
Thank you this is just what I was looking for!!!!!
Great thank you!
Great way to incorporate both Fiction and Nonfiction into weekly reading routines!
Fantastic resource!!
Another great resource from Teacher Thrive! Her products are top notch, and you will not regret purchasing any of her times.
I bought this, along with the Greek/Latin Sketch Notes and the worksheets, as well as the same products with the prefix/suffix focus. They are all amazing, and worth every. single. penny!
Absolutely love them!!
I feel as though I've left a ton of reviews for Teacher Thrive. To be honest, though, I have bought quite a few products from her, and I have not been disappointed in one. single. item. You will not regret purchasing this, because it's informative and the kids find the sketch notes fun to do. Can't go wrong with that combo!!

Do you have a bundle for all your tile centers?
Thanks.
We no longer offer this bundle on TpT because it became too difficult to manage, and teachers didn't get instant access to their purchases. We were able to automate the build-your-own-bundle process in our off-site store, which makes the process a lot easier for teachers and us. If you’d like to receive a discount on multiple math tiles, you can visit https://teacherthrive.com/byob
Are these all 2 x 2 problems? Or are there any 3 x 1 or 4 x 1?
Hello. They are all 2 x 2 and 2 x 1. Three-digit numbers won't fit on the page.
I cannot find the place in your store to by your tiles. I clicked on the here button, but I do see them. Help?
Hi Amy! I am no longer selling those on TpT. However, I do love the tiles from Amazon that are linked in the resource.
